Instructions

Cut up the fruit: Cut the oranges and apples into thin slices or wedges. Leave the peels on. Transfer the cut fruit to a pitcher.

Add the brandy: Measure the brandy and pour it over the fruit.

Add the orange liquor: Measure the orange liquor and pour it into the pitcher as well.

Add the wine: Uncork the wine and pour it into the pitcher.

Stir to combine: Stir the liquor, wine, and fruit together.

Cover and refrigerate: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Do not taste the sangria now; you will be disappointed! It gets softer, sweeter, and much more delicious overnight in the fridge.

Top with sparkling water: When ready to serve, top off the sangria with sparkling water. Stir gently to combine. Taste and add more if desired. Scoop a few pieces of fruit into each glass when serving.

Recipe Notes

For sweeter sangria, use tonic water instead of sparkling water to top off the sangria before serving.
